Warsaw Gp Saturday 18th April


Recommended Posts

The PZM has issued the following statement:

Nicki Pedersen and Tomas H. Jonasson took part in today’s practice session before the LOTTO Warsaw FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland.

The other riders having inspected the race track, provided their feedback guidelines, so the race track upgrade will continue overnight.

The jury session took place at 6 pm. The FIM has decided on an optional, closed test session tomorrow at 9am.

The LOTTO Warsaw SGP of Poland will launch as scheduled, tomorrow at 7pm.

 

Taken from the Speedway GP site, lets hope they can sort things for tomorrow night.

Hang on a minute. Isn't there some sort of "if you haven't ridden you can't comment" comment to be had here? :P

Don't worry - everything's fine in Speedway in Poland. Where Poland leads others follow......................or maybe, hopefully not!?

 

Though of course this isn't exactly "Polish Speedway" is it?

Maybe it was the wet stuff they stored on the docks!

 

No, it wasn't.

The track has been built by the Danish company Speed ​​Sport, owned by former world champion Ole Olsen. Preparations began two months before the Warsaw competition . Nearly four thousand tons of a special aggregates, which is the staff speedway tracks are made of , were loaded in King's Lynn in East England on the ship. "Celtic Warrior" which after three days docked in the Polish port at Gdansk. From there it was carried by150 trucks to Warsaw.

Polish fans were asking - why the track material was imported from abroad? - They were told that a company laying temporary tracks, has extensive experience in the construction of such facilities. It took them some time to develop a proper, proven blend of aggregates, and because of that the material always comes from the same place. The same was true for the GP events in Cardiff and Copenhagen, where it was used track construction aggregates from England.

They need not worry.

Doubtless, it will have been quarried by Poles, transported to port by Poles, shipped by Poles and laid by Poles.

It will be as Polish as anything sourced within a five mile radius of the Stadium.

 

I cannot vouch for the polish-ness of Ole Olsen.

That may be where it all goes to pot.

Interestingly, the Celtic Warrior isn't listed as having called at King's Lynn or Gdansk in the last few weeks. It was in Cardiff yesterday, and was in the Baltic a couple of weeks ago, but went to Latvia and Denmark.

 

The other interesting thing is that, according to its registered capacity, it can't carry anywhere near 4000 tonnes.
